Business  is  "different"  today.  Style 
has  become  a  potent  force  in  merchan- 
dising, not  only  on  Fifth  Avenue  but  in 
every  city,  town  and  hamlet  in  America. 

The  newest  in  clothing,  furniture,  ac- 
cessories for  home  or  person,  are  broad- 
cast to  audiences  throughout  America  by 
the  "movies,"  the  press,  by  radio. 

The  merchant  or  buyer  who  visits  New 
York  can  see  and  purchase  the  kind  of 
wares  his  customers  demand — because 
this  greatest  market  in  the  world  is  a 
perpetual  bazaar  where  every  type  ot 
goods  sold  by  every  type  of  store  can  be 
found. 

This  booklet  is  published  by  The 
Merchants'  Association  of  New  York  as 
a  brief  guide  and  reminder  for  out-of- 
town  buyers  and  merchants  who  seek  the 
newest  and  best  in  merchandise. 

The  following  pages  partially  list  some 
of  the  principal  articles  offered  in  the 
New  York  market — with  unexcelled  ad- 
vantages to  buyers.

NEW  YORK  has  no  rival  as  a  market

gown  for  milady — and  the  buyer  who 
comes  to  New  York  finds  that  the  styl- 
ists, the  manufacturers,  the  distributors 
of  up-to-the-minute  merchandise  have 
anticipated  tomorrow  s  vogue. 

New  York  originates — outspeaks  Paris 
very  often.  The  diversity  of  its  domestic 
products  is  unsurpassed.  It  offers  im- 
ported articles  from  every  corner  of  the

Buyers  everywhere  admit  the  high

that  outstanding  values  have  made  this
